the world is yours

2 oz Hibiki Harmony Japanese Whisky (Suntory Toki)
1/2 oz La Garrocha Oloroso Sherry (Lustau)
1/4 oz Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur (Russo Nocino)
1/4 oz Cinnamon Syrup
1 dash Bittermens Tiki Bitters (Bitter Cube Trinity)
Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a lemon twist studded with cloves.
Two Tuesdays ago, I was searching KindredCocktails for Japanese whisky drinks when I spotted The World is Yours by New York City bartender Rafa Garcia Febles. The combination of walnut and cinnamon worked well in the Man In a Yellow Hat and in my Shadows & Tall Trees, and oloroso sherry seemed like it would tie it all together. My guess is that the drink name is based on the 1994 song by Nas that paid homage to the movie Scarface. In the glass, The World is Yours gave forth a lemon, nutty, and cinnamon aroma. Next, grape and malty notes on the sip led into whisky, walnut, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
